Focus: Producing and selling medical cannabis to patients in Australia, and soon, South America. They are focused on cannabis treatments for pain, plus other conditions. This is a $9 billion market in Australia alone.

Markets: Strong (they are well-positioned to be a leader in Australia, few licenses granted so far)
Primary: Initially Australia and Tasmania, where medical MJ is legal, but adult use is not (nor expected soon). Also Chile, through DayaCann joint venture partner, Fundación Daya.
Secondary: South America. It has an export license, and recently harvested 620 kgs in Chile. AusCann sees South America as significant. There were legislative changes recently in Argentina, which has now joined Chile, Colombia and Uruguay in legalizing medical cannabis.

Financings: Raised $12 million and $33 million in recent capital raises. In July 2018, announced it will raise AUS$8 million more –US$5.8 mil—from investors.

Risks: In addition to all the normal risks of investing in the cannabis industry, which are high, Auscann risks are higher, since less is known about the company (they put out little news, and we don’t even know their production plans yet), they have very little revenue yet, and they operate in Australia, which we have less personal experience with.

Recommendation: Weak (until further news is known, and revenue generated)

Risk of Prosecution for Marijuana-Related Companies. If you are considering investing in a company that is connected to the marijuana industry, be aware that marijuana-related companies may be at risk of federal, and perhaps state, criminal prosecution. The Department of Treasury recently issued guidance noting: “[T]he Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”) makes it illegal under federal law to manufacture, distribute, or dispense marijuana. Many states impose and enforce similar prohibitions. Notwithstanding the federal ban, as of the date of this guidance, 20 states and the District of Columbia have legalized certain marijuana-related activity.”
